America Awaits the Microcar

Tiny cars that get about 70-mpg may be coming to the United States. Already a hit in Europe the small cars like the diesel Smart Fortwo get great gas mileage, put out less pollution than most cars and can easily park in spaces for compact cars. However, the Smart Fortwo is seen as too big for big-car-obsessed America. Instead Fortwo will offer a slightly larger model in the U.S, called the Smart SUV. Wired reports that, "the Smart SUV will debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show and arrive for sale in 2006 for about $20,000." For those interested in the smaller Fortwo, Wired reports that car buyers might be able to buy one in Canada.
